The reporter learned from the National Medical Insurance Bureau that since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the national medical insurance system has resolutely implemented the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, taking the protection of people's lives and health as the primary political task, and taking epidemic prevention and control as the first priority. Promulgated and implemented "two guarantees" to ensure that patients will not be affected by the cost of medical treatment, ensure that the hospital will not be affected by payment policies, and strongly support the "early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment" of epidemic prevention and control. The major strategic achievements in the fight against the epidemic have contributed to the strength of medical insurance.

  "First treatment, then settlement" to ensure that patients have no worries.

Effectively guarantee the treatment costs of confirmed and suspected patients. After the comprehensive insurance of basic medical insurance, serious illness insurance, and medical assistance, the personal burden will be subsidized by the government.

The policy of reducing the benefits of transferring medical treatment abroad will not be implemented for medical treatment in other places.

The drugs and diagnosis and treatment items in the new coronary pneumonia diagnosis and treatment plan will be temporarily included in the payment scope, and a batch of newly built or temporarily requisitioned new coronary pneumonia epidemic treatment hospitals will be temporarily included in the designated medical insurance.

  The special payment policy ensures that medical institutions do not have to worry about treatment.

Prepaid special funds are used for the treatment of new coronary pneumonia, with a total of 20 billion yuan of special funds allocated in advance, and 2.97 billion yuan of settlement costs.

Timely settlement of medical insurance expenses, separate medical expenses budget for patients with new coronary pneumonia, and do not occupy the total budget index of the hospital for the year.

Epidemic-related medical insurance management services are "urgently handled", epidemic prevention drugs and medical consumables have opened a green channel, production enterprises can connect to the Internet at any time, and medical institutions can purchase first and then file.

  Optimize handling services to help stop the spread of the epidemic.

Innovate the handling model, optimize the service process, implement the "non-face-to-face handling" of routine matters, and postpone the handling of non-urgent matters, so as to reduce the flow and gathering of personnel handling medical insurance business.

Do a good job in epidemic prevention at the business premises to ensure that the business can be "managed with confidence".

Include eligible "Internet +" medical service fees into the scope of medical insurance payment, and realize online medical insurance settlement; implement long-term prescription policy, encourage designated medical institutions to provide "non-face-to-face" drug purchase services, innovate distribution methods, and reduce the frequency of patients gathering in hospitals .

  Periodically reducing premiums to help companies resume work and production.

In 2020, under the premise of ensuring the mid- and long-term balance of fund revenues and expenditures, guide local governments to halve the payment of employee medical insurance units. A total of 165 billion yuan has been reduced in stages for 9.75 million insured units across the country, which strongly supports the resumption of work and production. .

Participating units and individuals are allowed to defer the payment of medical insurance premiums for up to 6 months, and the period of deferral will not affect the enjoyment of medical insurance benefits.
